I’ve been looking for a new mechanical keyboard, but every brand that I’ve checked out has some kind of problem with them that kills it for me.

I’m looking for:

1. Full size
2. Pre built
3. Hot-swappable switches
4. Compatible with third party switches
5. Backlit
6. Offline software

The Keychron V6 Ultra 8K seems like it’s exactly what I want, but their software is some asinine online only webapp. There is no offline app from what I could find. I would take an electron app over reaching out to a server to utilize my offline hardware.

I’ve cheched:

1. Keychron - online only software
2. Ducky - online only software, not compatible with third party switches
3. Cherry - Not hot swappable
4. Topre - Not hot swappable
5. Chilkey - No full size boards
6. Wooting - Not compatible with third party switches

I think there’s some others I’ve checked, but there’s too many to list/remember.

Does anyone have input or suggestions? This is the first time I’ve really tried looking through all of the options. Before I just went to Logitech or Corsair and called it a day. At this point, I feel like I’m just gonna stick with a membrane keyboard.
